They are not very good with the stock springs but with lower/stiffer springs, they outright SUCK! Within six months, they will be blown out and the car will start to bounce like those RICE trucks you see driving down the highway (bounce bounce bounce).
buy some good performance shocks to go with the springs.

If it is a street car, you may want to look at KYB Gas-Adjust or KYB AGX shocks (they are decent for street use and not too expensive) or a set of Tockco Illumina shocks (adjustable and a few more dollars, but still way cheaper than Koni's). Just my thoughts....
